Keeping an Eye on Wayward Studies

This week, one scientific journal retracted 60 papers after details of a “peer review ring” came to light. The journal Nature recently retracted two prominent papers involving stem cells after identifying what it called “critical errors.” Ivan Oransky, co-founder of the Retraction Watch blog, discusses the scientific process, what can go wrong, and the differences between misconduct and honest mistakes.
